Summer nights are slept in the vehra on charpais under the stars; winter mornings begin there in the sun. At harvest time the vehra fills with wheat being cleaned and dried; at weddings it fills with guests.

Modern houses with lawns and drawing rooms have shrunk the vehra, but in village memory it remains the true living room of the Punjabi home. ## What does vehra mean in Punjabi? ਵੇਹੜਾ (vehra) is the courtyard, the open yard at the heart of the Punjabi house, around which rooms are built.
